Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders among children, affecting an estimated 0.5–1% of individuals under the age of 16 [1,2]. The quality of life of children with epilepsy is affected by factors such as seizures, hospital admissions, and side effects of antiseizure medications (ASM) [3–5], as well as cognitive and psychiatric difficulties [6,7]. In addition, many children experience psychological and social challenges such as stigma, low self-esteem, and uncertainty about the future, which affect their daily lives and well-being [3,8,9].
